A delegation from the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently arrived for a tour of the Gaza border communities to gather information and investigate crimes committed against US citizens during Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

As part of the investigation, FBI representatives are working to obtain a full picture of the events from the crime scenes themselves.

US ongoing involvement in investigating Oct. 7

The agents' visit to the communities is an additional step in the US involvement in investigating the events of that day, particularly regarding the harm to Americans.

US officials have previously stated that the American administration views this as “a matter of paramount importance” and is committed to holding those responsible accountable.
